The biggest snail in the world
Snails are sometimes regarded as unpleasant, but no one thinks they’re frightening animals, right? Maybe your viewpoint will be altered. These sticky, slimy, horned creatures can grow to be much larger than you realize. While it is claimed that their slime has medicinal properties, we’d rather not have one on our skin.
It’s not a metaphor. The Giant Snail is the world’s biggest snail, reaching up to 20 centimeters in length and weighing almost 1.5 kg. Their shell develops quickly, as does their body enclosed inside it. Imagine waking up one morning to discover this in bed beside you. Definitely not a pet we’d want to keep at home.
